Lyrical Resonance: (The Sounds of Inspiration)

By Miriam Marietta Fredericks

This book is the last in a trilogy of poetic feasts By Miriam Fredericks. It connects two domains of human experiences; namely psychological and spiritual. It therefore can be used in counselling sessions and prayer groups.

Lyrical Resonance amplifies the special sound that resonates from deep within the spirit of every believer in Christ. Specially trained ears can hear the sound and know when to obey and what to do. The sounds of guidance and rhymes accompanied by earthy rhythm emanate from this writers soul and spirit in this collection of poems that are connected by her own thoughts. This collection seeks to expose the thoughts and prayers of a woman whose hearing has been enhanced so that she now hears clearly from the Lord and Father of her life.

Miriam Marietta Fredericks

After years of feeling rejected and forlorn, the author decided to examine the source of such despair. She discovered a pattern flowing from her immediate ancestry that colored her perception and her world. In this book, she exposes the source of the feelings of inferiority and anger. She traces the meandering path of life to the Balm of Gilead that God provides. She continues to bask in the presence of God who has sustained her through every struggle.

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to everyone who hears the resonance that comes from deep within them. I thank God for cleaning my ears so that I hear the vibrations that come from deep within my spirit.

God speaks to us in many ways and I hope that He will use this book as an instrument to resonate in your soul and spirit.

FOREWORD

Some are gifted while some acquire the gift. Mamre is divinely gifted and in this fifth work of hers; Lyrical Resonance, she exhorts people to be optimistic and positive in life by availing themselves of God’s effusion of grace which is readily available.

In poems like Borderless Vision, Provision and Life’s Symphony she encourages us to appreciate God and His gifts and also to desist from falling into bad ways.

Mamre’s inspiration stems from her love of God and humanity which in my opinion qualifies her as a modern-day Prophet; a constant reminder of where we are; where we could have been and should be.

Lyrical Resonance makes for both a literary and meditative read.

LYRICAL RESONANCE

Inaudible waves reverberate;

vibrating hearer’s eardrums;

Ignorant receivers hover around

unaware of God’s voice’s sound.

All persons in tune with His tone,

‘see’ the atmospheric trends;

‘hear’ the sound of possibilities;

achieve while ignoring trivialities.

Heard and carefully recorded
